Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 316 Naruto Douluo and Nine-Heart Douluo

Just as fierce battles were raging inside and outside the palace, Tang San, along with four Soul Douluos from the Star Luo Empire and two Soul Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect, stealthily made their way to the Crown Prince's palace amidst the chaos.

Most of the Imperial Guards were transferred to protect Xue Qinghe's safety, leaving only a few guards outside the Crown Prince's palace.

"superior!"

Tang San roared and charged out first, releasing his Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul. Eight spirit rings rose up, including two yellow, two purple, and four black rings. The first spirit ring, a hundred-year ring, lit up, and his first spirit skill, Mother's Entanglement, was released.

Thick, long strands of Blue Silver Emperor rapidly spread out from around Tang San, coiling around the Imperial Guards guarding the palace gates like Datura serpents. The sharp spikes pierced their skin, and the terrifying poison contained within instantly entered their bodies. These guards didn't even have time to struggle before they stopped breathing.

After dealing with the guards outside, Tang San and his companions rushed into the house.

boom!

Before they could get close, a blazing red ball of light flew out of the house and exploded in front of them. Caught off guard, Tang San and his companions were forced to take a few steps back by the impact of the fire element energy contained within.

"Tang San, you despicable villain! Not only do you use such underhanded methods as devouring others to increase your strength, but now you're even willing to kill two- or three-year-old children!"

Accompanied by a clear, cold shout, Huo Wu, dressed in a fiery red dress, slowly walked out of the house.

"You're Fire Dance!"

Huo Wu's appearance hadn't changed much since she participated in the Soul Master Competition, and Tang San recognized her at a glance.

"Where did this reckless little brat come from!"

A White Tiger Soul Douluo sent by the Star Luo Empire roared angrily. The explosion had left him covered in dust and dirt. As a dignified royal retainer of the Star Luo Empire, he had never been so disheveled.

He stomped his right foot hard on the ground and charged forward, raising his fist to blast towards Huo Wu.

"Senior, be careful!"

Tang San hurriedly reminded him from behind.

Tang San felt that since Huo Wu was Xiao Yu's woman, Xiao Yu couldn't possibly mistreat her. Xiao Yu was already at the Limit Douluo level, so Huo Wu's strength must not be weak either.

Huo Wu raised her right hand and threw a punch, the scorching wind from the punch hitting her face.

Before the two fists even collided, the extremely high temperature of the fire elemental energy was enough to overwhelm the Soul Douluo powerhouse of the Star Luo Empire, forcing him to withdraw his fist and retreat.

But how could Huo Wu let him retreat unscathed? With a whooshing sound, Huo Wu, who was actually launching a powerful attack under the guise of control, punched the White Tiger Soul Douluo in the chest.

Click!

With a cracking sound, the White Tiger Soul Douluo was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"Ah, I'll kill you!"

With a piercing scream, a dark figure shot out like an arrow, so fast that only a few afterimages remained in the air.

This person is none other than the wife of the White Tiger Soul Douluo, whose sternum was broken by Huo Wu's punch just now. She is a noblewoman from the Zhu family, the imperial family of the Star Luo Empire, and a Soul Douluo powerhouse of level eighty-two.

Zhu's daughter did not attack Huo Wu, but went straight for her husband.

Anger did not cloud her judgment. With neither side using their martial souls, Huo Wu's punch that sent her husband flying could only mean that her strength was far superior to her husband's. In fact, her strength was inferior to her husband's, so rushing in would be no different from sending herself to her death. The only way to win was to use her martial soul fusion technique.

The White Tiger Soul Douluo understood his wife's intention. He endured the sharp pain in his chest and reached out to pull his wife into his arms.

The two figures quickly merged, and a huge white tiger, over ten meters long, roared and pounced on Huo Wu.

Facing the imposing Netherworld White Tiger, Huo Wu also released her Martial Soul. A dazzling red light shot into the sky, and nine Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red—appeared behind her. She had clearly achieved the title of Title Douluo, the title of Title Hokage.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Soul-Locking Fire Chains!"

Huo Wu's sixth soul ring suddenly shone brightly, and multiple chains formed from flames burst forth from the ground below, binding the Netherworld White Tiger tightly. Although the Netherworld White Tiger struggled desperately, it was difficult to break free of the chains binding it in a short time.

"Eighth Soul Ring, Blazing Flames!"

After trapping the Netherworld White Tiger in place, Huo Wu immediately unleashed her eighth soul skill, a series of smooth and fluid moves without any pause.

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, the ground beneath the Netherworld White Tiger turned crimson. Accompanied by a terrifying roar, a blazing inferno, powerful enough to incinerate everything, erupted from the ground, shooting hundreds of meters into the air. The heatwave swept outwards, and the carefully cultivated flowers outside the palace withered instantly under its onslaught.

As the light faded, the enormous Netherworld White Tiger had vanished without a trace. Two charred figures fell from the sky, shattering into dust with a "thud" upon hitting the ground.

Tang San's pupils dilated sharply. Although he had made the best possible assessment of Huo Wu's strength, her performance still exceeded his expectations.

This was a fusion skill of two Soul Douluos, enough to rival a Title Douluo for a short time, yet it was sent away by Huo Wu with just her eighth soul skill. Just how strong is Huo Wu?

Tang San asked himself, and he knew that among the Haotian Sect, only his uncle could achieve this level of skill. Although the other titled Douluo elders could also win, they would inevitably have to go through a fierce battle.

The two Soul Douluos from the Clear Sky Sect and another couple of Venerable Elders from the Star Luo Empire simultaneously showed fear. What Tang San could think of, they could naturally think of as well. The four of them took a few steps back in unison.

"Don't panic!"

Seeing this, Tang San immediately shouted, "She's alone, but we outnumber her. We might not necessarily lose. Although her eighth soul skill is incredibly powerful, it must consume far more soul power than a normal eighth soul skill. Let's attack together and wear her down!"

"Yeah?"

Just then, accompanied by a clear voice, Ye Lingling, whose figure was in no way inferior, slowly walked out of the house.

Ye Lingling wore a white dress, elegant and noble, which contrasted sharply with Huo Wu, who exuded a wild aura. Even the enemies couldn't help but be momentarily stunned, except for Tang Shenwang, who had lost all feelings and love after Xiao Wu's death.

Ye Lingling chuckled softly, her smile as gentle and soothing as a spring breeze. To the four Soul Douluos besides Tang San, it seemed as if the world had transformed.

But the next second, their eyes widened in surprise.

Nine spirit rings, identical to those on Huo Wu's body, suddenly appeared on Ye Lingling's body, revealing her to be another Title Douluo, titled Nine Hearts.
